Coffee crawl
Seattle has more coffee shops per capita than almost any city in the US. Pick any independent coffee shop (not a chain) and take a group photo at the counter or with your drinks raised, with the shop's name visible.
Emerald City kick-off
The hunt begins! Find a typical Seattle backdrop (a misty street, a coffee shop, a totem pole) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air. Everyone off the ground or it does not count.
Flying fish moment
The fishmongers at Pike Place Fish throw fish to each other across the counter. Watch the show and take a photo (or short video) of the team reacting in dramatic shock as a fish flies by.
Group finale in Seattle
The final challenge! Find a beautiful Seattle spot (the waterfront, Pike Place, the Space Needle) and take an amazing group photo with the whole team in shot. A photo for the ages, well done everyone!
Gum Wall photo
Post Alley near Pike Place is home to the famous (and a little gross) Gum Wall, covered in chewed gum from millions of visitors. Find it and take a group photo posing in front of the colourful wall. Adding to it is your call.
Monorail ride pose
The Seattle Monorail (built for the World's Fair) connects downtown to the Space Needle. Find a station or the elevated tracks and take a group photo with the monorail or its track clearly in frame.
Original Starbucks toast
This is where Starbucks started in 1971. Get a coffee from the original store (or any Pike Place coffee) and take a group photo where everyone toasts with their cup, the original storefront clearly behind them.
Public Market sign shot
The neon Public Market sign is the most photographed spot in Seattle. Take a group photo with the entire sign and clock visible above the team. Everyone in shot, no excuses.
Puget Sound waterfront
Walk to the Seattle waterfront and take a group photo with Puget Sound stretching behind you. Bonus points if a ferry, seagull or distant Olympic Mountain peak makes it into the shot.
Rainy day pose
Seattle is famous for grey skies (even though it rains less than people think). Whether the weather is wet or sunny, take a group photo where everyone has an umbrella, hood or jacket up, miming a downpour.
Seattle local guide
Convince a local Seattleite to share one favourite cafe, hidden gem or hot take about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and remember the tip.
Sound cheers
Find a spot with Puget Sound, a totem pole or a Seattle landmark behind you, grab a coffee or a drink and take a group toast photo. To the Emerald City!
